irene, i'm sure a few other people will beat me to the punch, but there is an absolutely fantastic version of "people make the world go round" on the pharaohs "in the bassment" lp. the first part is deep funk with horns and rumbling bass, the second has a tough but soulful female vocals. very different to the live version that IO played at the montreal jazz fest, which was more of a terry callier-type vibe.

To add my belated mumblings to the Innerzone Orchestra stew: I am currently listening through it with mixed emotion so far, but as I hit upon track 8: People Make The World Go Round, wow! things are suddenly looking rosy. I also have a Ramsey Lewis version of this (totally completely different - unrecognisably so) which I also adore. Anybody know who the original Bell & Creed are who wrote it? There's Craig's quotation on the sleeve about how he heard it on the radio a couple of years ago and it totally blew his mind - wonder which version he fell in love with? Unexpected find on a Carl Craig outing, for sure. Is this a Concept Album :-() Going through the liner notes one might get that idea. Some glorious bits shimmering through : it will need more time to mature and be fully digested, but a lot of what's here sounds masterful. I *
